&lt;p&gt;Natural Resource Management Regions (NRMR) are an ABS based approximation of Natural Resource Management regions (NRM). They are administrative regions primarily used by the Department of the Environment and Energy and the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources who share responsibility for delivery of the Australian Government's environment and sustainable agriculture programs, which are broadly referred to as Natural Resource Management (NRM). ABS approximations of NRMR boundaries do not match official boundaries exactly and should only be used for statistical purposes.&lt;p/&gt;

It brings together trusted datasets from across government in an interactive, secure, and easy-to-use geospatial platform. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is working in partnership with Geoscience Australia to establish a set of web services to make ABS data available in the Digital Atlas of Australia. &lt;/p&gt;	&lt;p&gt;
